I don't think the phone matters nearly as much as Brandon's skills. The man can probably shoot cinema level footage with a potato.

[@MrVecino]

I really would like to see that 😂

[@Yamenoutlaw]

Hehehe absolutely right

[@MA-gv3wg]

He changes up the scene to much and dramatically. This style is his own style. It’s only good for a quick view. 10 minutes at most. You will be dizzy or tired of seeing this after a full movie length.

[@tanmoysaha4865]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@amranibrahimrashidi]

Totally agree!!!

[@sauravbahuguna3186]

It is just amazing how a smartphone footage becomes so much more amazing when it is a professional like him who's handling it

[@vinayaksuri8166]

Always so masterful...you're an artist Brandon...this phone did have me excited...but not as much as seeing what you've made with it...you hand the device to the right person and magic happens...your skills are incredible...you're always an inspiration...cheers!

Your hand movements! man!

[@oldboy.496]

i came for the footage, you made me a photographer!!!!!

[@Design4Training]

Great stuff Brandon, as always. With a phone, what you don't have in depth of field and sensor size you can really make up in framing, camera movement and editing. I think your work really shows that off. It never has to be the equipment that holds you back. Kudos!

[@akmalhawari3291]

This is really cool
